Social Safety Nets And Investment Initiatives

Proposals further call for targeted income support for vulnerable demographics, such as low-income earners, families with children, students, retirees, and individuals with disabilities. Additionally, there is a strong push to accelerate investments in energy storage and promote the installation of photovoltaic systems. These initiatives aim to stimulate public investment projects that will reinforce the domestic economy should the crisis extend into the medium term.

Leveraging European Recovery Funds And Fiscal Prudence

Authorities are urged to accelerate the use of the Recovery Fund and other co-financed programmes to access EU resources. Democratic Vigilance also called for a disciplined fiscal approach, avoiding policy decisions that could increase economic instability.
